Chapters 17 and 18 Summary

Chapter 17

Bunny bugged Jack about not being able to play. He asked his mother if he could have a free day to play baseball in exchange for the ticket for a free ride on his father's plane. She happily agreed. As soon as Bunny and Jack took off, they could hear the faint voice of Miss Volker calling for him. Bunny told him to ignore her but Jack couldn't. He asked Bunny to come with him to see what Miss Volker wanted.

Jack drove Miss Volker and Bunny to Mrs. Linga's house. Mr Huffer was already there, tending to the body. Mrs. Linga had apparently fallen in her house and died from complications of the fall. Miss Volker began dictating the obit while they sat in her car.
